Last year, 177 couples were married at county Registrar- Recorder/County Clerk's offices on Valentine's Day. Ceremonies will be offered Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at four locations around the county:
-- 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk;
-- 4716 E. Cesar Chavez Blvd., building B, East Los Angeles;
-- 14340 W. Sylvan St., Van Nuys; and
-- 9355 Burton Way, fourth floor, Beverly Hills.
The county charges $35 for a civil wedding ceremony. A marriage license costs $91, but a confidential license costs just $85.
No appointments are required, although couples are urged to complete an online marriage license application before they arrive, to expedite the process.
At the clerk's Norwalk headquarters, couples tying the knot will be able to indulge in mini-heart cakes provided by Creative Cakery, along with heart-shaped doughnuts from Knead. The bakery items are sponsored by Modern Intimacy, a national telehealth counseling service for individuals and couples. On Friday afternoon, couples will be able to try slices of heart-shaped pizza, courtesy of Mountain Mike's Pizza.
Southern California Honda Dealers, meanwhile, will be distributing roses to newly married couples.
